During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company continued to experience triggering events associated with the Gearing segment’s current period operating losses combined with its history of continued operating losses. As a result, the Company evaluated the recoverability of certain of its long‑lived assets associated with the Gearing segment. Based upon the Company’s December 31, 2016 impairment assessment, the undiscounted cash flows based upon the Company’s most recent projections were less than the carrying amount of relevant asset groups within the Gearing segment, and a possible impairment to these assets was indicated under ASC 360. However, based on third-party appraisals and other estimates of the fair value of the assets, the Company determined that the fair value of these assets is in excess of their carrying amount under ASC 360. The Company assumed that the assets would be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants and would represent the highest and best use of these assets. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that no impairment to the asset group was indicated as of December 31, 2016.
